As a result of the conservatee’s testimony at the June 23 hearing, however, Petitioner [Bessemer Trust] has become aware that the conservatee objects to the continuance of her conservatorship and desires to terminate the conservatorship. Petitioner has heard the conservatee and respects her wishes.

— an excerpt from a request filed by Bessemer Trust, the professional wealth management firm set to act as Britney Spears’s co-conservator, seeking leave to withdraw from the conservatorship. Bessemer said in its filing that it believed Spears was in the conservatorship voluntarily, adding that it is “not currently authorized to act, has taken no actions as conservator, has made no decisions as conservator, has received no assets of the estate [and] has taken no fees.”
